I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet but Gallingers's cuckoo wife is played by the same actress as Nucky's fiance in Boardwalk empire.

I think it was mentioned in the Boardwalk empire thread. It totally killed any way of me thinking of her in a sympathetic way, lol.

Show was good but it could've been great, let down greatly by the last couple of episodes. And was it just me or did algananon actually regress from the point thack didn't treat him like hired help. Went from a formidable equal to a side character that does As he is told

Well part of it is that at the beginning Algie was doing shyt on his own, so he was on some boss shyt.

Officially, he's like assistant chief to Thack's chief of medicine, so he's his right hand man. So when he got accepted by Thack, he was doing his job which was to support Thack.

I haven't watched boardwalk, but I can't say I necessarily feel "sympathetic" for her. Mostly just completely weirded out

yeah I get that but from a tv standpoint why open that door and make out this character has the brilliance to go out on his own only to basically reduce him to a obedient sidekick. It was just strange, there was never a moment where he strongly challenged thack or overruled him since being accepted. And the former wasn't even of sound judgement due to the drug withdrawal

The news is a couple weeks late but season 2 is coming in October.

Because that how it was for Black doctors in those days, and honestly he's far more rebellious than his counterparts. Also for as smart as he is, he is a subordinate of Thackery and he can't publically challenge him the way he probably should had it been a more equitable relationship.
